What happens if you freeze water in a very strong electric field? Water molecules are slightly polarised so they should line up in a strong electric field. I was always taught that they form hexagonal structures when they freeze though. Which of these effects is more powerful? Does the water freeze with a different structure? What happens if I subsequently remove the electric field?

Why would a sauce made from blueberries and cassis not freeze solid? I made a sauce for lamb from blueberries and cassis, but made too much so put some in the freezer. It wouldn't set solid and spent a month being malleable at -7 °C. It tasted OK when we used it later. Why wouldn't it freeze solid? Tom Lyndhurst, Pinner, Middlesex
